The Grade 5-2 students of Cowan Heights Elementary will research Newfoundland expressions through using research materials and interviewing
grandparents, parents, and friends. In groups, they will prepare a list of Newfoundland expressions which will be formatted into a quiz.
In this quiz the Newfoundland expressions will have to be matched with their meanings. This set of expressions will be sent to Bristol,
England as part of the Cabot 500 Celebrations for a participating Grade 5 class to complete. In turn, the students of Bristol, England
will develop a quiz containing British expressions which will be completed by the grade 5-2 students of Cowan Heights Elementary. Through
this research of expressions both groups of children from Newfoundland and England will be able to gain a greater understanding of the
contrast in the development of local expressions in different geographical areas.
